(I have a groomer who takes care of Sasha's nails plus my sister (dog trainer) for in-between grooming appointments.)

Because I am in a sister-profession I understand, intimately, that even REALLY responsible people can have a run of bad luck like they did.  

I was lucky in that in every case, they backed off once the police contacted them.But, for instance, there was an applicant freshly out of prison who was living on his sister's couch and she wanted him gone.  

So I have a tenant who just moved out, but left her sister and husband behind in the property.

My sister has accepted a job in another state but still has 8 months remaining on her lease.  

viz. we are two blocks from campus and include basic utilities (heat, lights, water) and Internet.Most of our roomers are international students who are less problematic overall, but we still find things flow more smoothly with a "Den Mother" (my sister-in-law) living in the property.  

My sister and I are looking to make a deal with a seller who is willing to do an on land contract.

I actually spent some time at UWM, and my sister graduated from Marquette, so I'm somewhat familiar with your neck of the woods.

. $1m just doesn't go that far in Chicago, ESPECIALLY in the downtown area.My sister lives in Logan Square, one of the hottest neighborhoods now.
